Life Poem by Saju Abraham

The moment you die everything ceases
The living cease for you
And you cease for the living.
Then what’s it that you live for?

Few days into your death
Your house is no more yours
Your name is just a name.
Then what’s it that you live for?

When death has caught up with you
Thoughts you thought etherize
Things you said become proverbs
So what’s it that you live for?

If death so unsettles you
Then what’s life?
You wish you could reverse it all
To cherish more those moments
That’s what you live for.
